I finally got to visit the newest mega casino resort that just opened in Manila. As soon as you pass the tight security and enter the lobby you are greeted by two statuesque ladies in high, high heels. The large skylight and beautiful decorative fixtures were quite impressive.

Dinner at Tsumura
My friend Deb can’t believe I haven’t eaten at Tsumura. I can’t believe it either.

Hot Pot at Bird’s Nest Restaurant
This is the third and last restaurant I tried on Minden Avenue in Tsim Sha Tsui last December. Having hot pot on a cool night was just what we needed. They just opened and the two men were happy to usher us in. The whole menu was in Chinese. I always enjoy concocting my own sauce. IContinue reading “Hot Pot at Bird’s Nest Restaurant”
